 Nutrition Education Workbooks

The Nutrition Education workbooks are curriculum based, self-assessment books that are age appropriately developed for children from the age of 3 years onwards. Each workbook or coursebook is focused on teaching children about  nutrition, healthy habits and good food choices. We use an interdisciplinary approach where children can co-relate other subjects such as mathematics, languages, sciences, history, geography, etc to have a better learning experience. Each book is activity based that allows the child to explore different subjects through food.

Advantages of Preschool Nutrition Education

 

 

The preschool years, aged 2-6, are an influential time for developing healthy lifestyle habits. This includes good nutrition habits. During these years there is a rapid rate of development happening in children, in a number of areas. These areas include:

  • Physical Development: The actual physical growth of the child including height and weight.

  • Cognitive Development: Significant brain development which includes the ability to develop language skills, gain short and long-term memory and also make connections.

  • Emotional and Social Development: Maturity in the ability to interact with others and branch out to create other social relationships.

Nutrition plays a significant role in the overall healthy development of a child in all these above areas. 

Food preferences and habits are formed in early childhood. It can affect an individual’s eating habits for life. Therefore starting nutrition education right from the preschool level is of paramount importance. These prime years of their lives are pivotal for building and laying the foundations of healthy eating and food education that they would carry into their adult lives.
